But... the author is dead!
Not
literally dead, I mean.

Whatever form the translation now takes (seen/discerned/understood/etc.), it's funny because it's logically meaningless.
If love == no, then not x is not logically equivalent to
if love == yes, then x. Nor to
if x, then love == yes. That's
my deep thought of the day.

Lacking love is not a valid criticism anymore. If one can't see what the author intended than it's not because he doesn't understand, but because the author did a bad job at getting him to understand it. That's my deep thought of the day anyway.

It was never a valid criticism, because it was always used by people under the arrogant assumption that they do "have love" (whatever that means, they certainly rarely ever could say) and those against whom they were arguing didn't. Despite having no way to determine that. Or any idea what it even means.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually mean anything.
